$GET

[Schlo_50]

I want to use $GET in order to bring up the content pages (e.g about.php) of my website onto the main (e.g index.php) page. Can someone post an example showing this please?

 

Cheers

this is your index page, home is your main page content

 

header is before content

footer is after content

<?php
include "header.php";

if(isset($_GET['page'])){
  $page = $_GET['page'];
}else{
  $page = "home.php";
}

include "PATH_TO_PAGES/$page";


include "footer.php";

?>

Be extremely carefull using this technique. It is a very easy way for crackers to inject scripts into your site.

 

Validate the files passed via the url actually exist on your site before attempting to include them.

yeah i should've mentioned that...

 

do something like...

 

if(file_exists(PATH_TO_FILE/$page)){
  include "PATH_TO_FILE/$page";
}else{
  for($i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++){
    echo "You're hacking!!!!";
  }
}
